In the few games where the team was suspended, the Grizzlies only won one game against the Magic. In this game, Gay scored the highest score on the team.

After scoring the highest score in the team for two consecutive games, Gay started to look good again.

During training, I acted like I was the boss of the team.

The good-tempered Gasol looked at Guy and made him want to beat him.

Fortunately, several people held Gasol back.

"Paul, don't get along with him. It's not the coach who insists on giving him the right to take action, otherwise he wouldn't be able to score so many points." Li Tiankai asked Gasol.

"Yes, Paul, why don't we just not pass the ball to him in the next game? The rebounds are in our hands." Milicic also spoke for Gasol.

Gasol glanced at several people. The rebounds and the ball were all in the hands of these people. He didn't want to pass the ball to Gay, but it wouldn't happen every minute.

"Okay, but I think I have to rest in the next game." Gasol was confused.

Everyone else covered their eyes.

Can you still have fun playing?

"Li, I feel like your opportunity has come. Shouldn't you thank me? If I hadn't taken a break, you would have continued to guard the water fountain."

"Paul, what's wrong with you? I guess Conley and I will continue to guard the water fountain." Li Tian's eyes showed helplessness and a hint of loss.

"I feel a little uncomfortable, so the team doctor suggested taking a rest." Since Gasol suffered a serious injury, he has occasionally experienced some physical discomfort, so he often takes one or two games of rest, as long as it is not the playoffs.

"Okay, I'll continue training. There won't be any changes tonight anyway."

…

After the pre-match warm-up training was over, Mark came to the locker room.

"Li, is there any problem with you replacing Gasol in this game?" Mark still didn't want to face Li Tian.

"No problem, coach." Li Tian lowered his head and responded.

Being suddenly arranged to appear on the stage, Li Tian was still a little happy in his heart. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he was finally able to appear on the stage.

This game is against the defending champion Spurs, but there is still no live broadcast in the United States. After all, there is a huge gap between the two teams. There is no live broadcast in China due to Li Tian's consecutive suspension.

Li Tian came on stage and started to warm up.

"I'm so envious, but luckily I have you with me. Thank you so much Paul." He said and hugged Gasol.

"Conley, you have to know that I will only rest for this game, and you will be the only one left in the next game. Cherish the opportunity to have me accompany you." Gasol avoided Conley's hug.

"Paul, you..." Conley fell face to face on the bench.

Gasol was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. After watching Conley leave and get up, he felt at ease.

…

"Tim, you have a hard time playing this game. There have been rumors that Lee was suspended due to internal reasons within the team. It seems possible." Ginobili shook his hair.

"Ginobili, I have a good idea, how about we ask the old man to trade him." Duncan suddenly came up with this idea and said.

Popovich's eyes lit up on the sidelines, but then dimmed again. Li Tian's knee injury has always been a problem. Rumors are always hard to believe, but it's not impossible to believe them completely.

If the team is hit and miss after the trade, it will destroy the team's chemical reaction. Popovich does not dare to bet. Their goal this season is to defend the title.

"Okay, Tim, you'd better think carefully about how to deal with his defense and try to defeat him." Popovich stopped the discussion between the two.

"Bowen, Lee's defense is up to you." Popovich looked at Bowen who still had some gas in the tank.

"No problem, coach." Bowen knew that Duncan must not be used to defend Lee, otherwise there would be no need to play this game and he could just surrender.

Lowry looked at Gasol with a wicked smile, "Lee, we have to win this game and tell someone that we can win the game without him."

"Haha, Paul, they are going to rebel." Conley didn't wait for Li Tian to speak.

"Lori, it seems you need to strengthen your training. I think you have All-Star potential. The game is over, let's help Lowry grow up." Gasol turned to look at Li Tian, ​​and Lowry was dumbfounded.

"Okay, stop talking. The game will start soon. Li, your task is to guard Duncan and create space for your teammates." Mark stopped several people from chatting.

Several people nodded as an answer to Mark.

At the start of the game, Milicic jumped to get the ball.

"Li, come on, I haven't cooperated with you for a long time, let's blow up the whole audience." Navarro hasn't cooperated with Li Tian on the court for a long time, and he misses it a lot.

"Okay, let's win this game."

Navarro received Milicic's pass and dribbled the ball into the high post.

Milicic came to the basket and blocked the Spurs center, creating opportunities for his teammates to break through the basket.

Gay and Miller are lurking in the bottom corner on the strong side and 45 degrees on the weak side respectively.

Li Tian constantly changed his running speed under the basket, using teammates to pick and roll from time to time, trying to get rid of Bowen's pursuit.

Perhaps because Bowen was too senior, Bowen was still thrown away when Li Tian suddenly changed direction.

At the bottom corner on the weak side, he ran out of space.

When Li Tian was running back and forth, Navarro also launched an attack, using his body to push away Parker who was defending in front of him, gaining space to shoot.

Just when he was about to take action, he saw that Li Tian had already thrown away Bowen.

The moment Navarro took the shot, he changed the direction of the basketball and passed the ball to Li Tian in the bottom corner.

The moment you catch the ball, you jump right into the air.

After making the three-pointer, Li Tian made a classic celebration of wiping his gun.

"Look, Li shot a three-pointer and started celebrating as soon as the ball left his hand. Is Li so confident?" The commentator was also a little stimulated. What is he doing? Are you not afraid of being slapped in the face?

"Don't be surprised, man, this is not the first time." Because he had seen it many times.

Before he finished speaking, the basketball hit the ball steadily.

The fans at the scene burst into warm applause, and Li Tian even heard some fans shouting his name.

"Man, light it up," Navarro and Navarro shouted loudly as they bumped their chests in celebration.

Looking back, Li Tian's defense against Duncan was no longer so green after recent training and last matchup experience.

Likewise, Duncan will not underestimate Li Tian, ​​both of them devote themselves to it.

Duncan's sudden turn and acceleration surprised Li Tian.

However, relying on his speed and jumping advantages, Li Tian still successfully interfered with Duncan's shot.

Basketball hoop shot.

After Duncan took the shot, he knew something was wrong. He blocked Li Tian behind him hard and prepared to grab the rebound and launch a second attack.

Behind Duncan, Li Tian struggled to grab the rebound and passed the ball to Milicic behind him.

Milicic got the basketball, passed the ball to Navarro, and slowly brought the ball across the half court.

Bowen clung to Li Tian, ​​but he didn't expect Li Tian to make a sudden move, blocking Miller's advantage.

Miller caught the ball and hit a mid-range shot.

The Grizzlies beat the Spurs 5-0 in the opening game.

The Spurs once again handed the ball to Duncan, hoping that Duncan could open up the situation from the inside.

Low ball.

Li Tian didn't show any weakness, and gave Duncan enough physical confrontation from the beginning, and he was very aggressive defensively.

In the first blow, Duncan was caught off guard by Li Tian's full defense.

Duncan also gave up the idea of ​​using his strength to hit the basket, and simply prepared for a fadeaway jumper at a 45-degree angle.

The moment Duncan lifted the ball.

"Oh, Lee stole Duncan." The commentator shouted excitedly.

Navarro flew and grabbed the basketball.

Passed to Miller who was going down quickly, and Miller dunked on the fast break.
Chapter completed!
